[2008-12-31]Imperva®, the leader in application data security, today announced that key findings in a new independent benchmark report conducted by Aberdeen Group reveal that monitoring privileged database users significantly reduces data loss.

“In this study, respondents estimated that databases are the repository for nearly two-thirds of their sensitive data, so it’s no surprise that the results show organizations that monitor privileged user activity suffer fewer data losses,” said Derek E. Brink, vice president and research fellow for IT Security, Aberdeen. “The payoff for monitoring insiders can be significant from several perspectives, including security, risk management, compliance and cost.” “This Aberdeen report establishes and quantifies the risk organizations are taking by not monitoring the actions of privileged insiders, as well as the payback for companies that implement database activity monitoring,” said Mark Kraynak, senior director of strategic marketing for Imperva. “Unlike native database auditing mechanisms, a database monitoring product like Imperva SecureSphere cannot be turned off by a privileged user or database administrator to cover up illicit activities.” To download a complimentary copy of the report ‘Protecting the Database: When (Most of) the Eggs are in One Basket’ please visit: visit http://www.imperva.com/go/aberdeen .
